Chapter 56: Wuji Zhen's Clan
After doing all this, it was almost dawn.
After tossing for a night, Yang Zhao asked them to go back to rest, but as soon as they walked out of the small courtyard, they saw Zhang Fei sitting outside, as if waiting for something.
"Big brother, the county magistrate has come out!"
Zhang Fei also didn't rest all night, and when he saw the figure in front of him shaking, he hurriedly shouted.
After a while, Liu Bei hurriedly ran out.
"Senior brother, you still don't give up, you must spy on my secret that has not been passed on?"
Yang Zhao asked helplessly.
Liu Bei was able to admit it and explained: "Senior brother misunderstood, we didn't, we just wanted to discuss some things with you, but I was shouted by Yide, what is to discuss, I suddenly forgot, I will go back and think about it, don't bother you, Yide let's go!" ”
Zhang Fei: "......"
I'm like, somehow, I'm taking the blame.
Yang Zhao touched his chin, and felt that it was very unsafe to make salt in the government office next, and it was easy to be stolen by Liu Bei, so he had to change places to toss, where was it better to make salt?
It is convenient to boil salt under the poisonous salt mountain, but it is not very reliable, and there is not enough ability to enclose the salt mountain, and it is also easy to be stolen.
can only find a compound in Liangxiang City, so that Liu Bei and others can't easily enter.
"Where?"
"There it is! Zhou family compound! ”
Yang Zhao thought of this, and immediately asked Tian Chou to turn over the various documents of the Zhou family.
The Zhou family compound has been seized by the Liangxiang government, it is currently deserted, there is no one in it, the property rights have long been returned to the government office, Yang Zhao decided to take down the Zhou family compound.
As the county magistrate here, according to his judgment, he has to stay for more than two years, because Zhang Chun's rebellion was in Zhongping for four years, and now it is only the second year of Zhongping, which is enough for him to make a lot of money with salt.
"What is the use of the county magistrate buying the Zhou family?"
Tian Chou asked curiously.
Yang Zhao said: "Do a big thing, can I buy it?" How much does it cost? It's best to close the deal today, don't worry, I will give money to the government office, it is definitely not a simple possession. ”
Tian Chou said: "Of course you can buy ......"
So he found out the relevant documents, signed them for Yang Zhao, and then gave money, and the courtyard of the Zhou family was completely merged into Yang Zhao's name, and the title deed was also in hand.
"Fang Rui, don't sleep, get up and move!"
Yang Zhao went back to find Fang Rui and them, and began to toss again.
As soon as Liu Bei woke up, he saw Yang Zhao's side, moving things outside in large bags and small bags, and he was dumbfounded!
"Senior brother, where are you going?"
Liu Bei ran over and asked, he hadn't figured out the secret yet.
Yang Zhao said with a smile: "I see that my senior brother likes the courtyard here so much, I just bought the courtyard of the Zhou family, and I will give the courtyard to you, and I will no longer live in the government office in the future." ”
Liu Bei was stunned!
Then he looked at Yang Zhao and moved all the things away.
"Big brother, he's too much of a bully!"
Zhang Fei said angrily: "The county magistrate doesn't trust us so much, and I don't know that broken secret." ”
Guan Yu said: "If it were me, I wouldn't trust it!" The eldest brother and the third brother, from last night to now, are still staring at the county magistrate, big brother, this is what we did wrong! ”
Liu Bei came to his senses, this was not in line with his benevolent and righteous personality, it was indeed his mistake, and he hurriedly caught up and wanted to apologize to Yang Zhao.
——
Moving to the Zhou family, Yang Zhao continued to let them make salt, and did not increase the number of people for the time being, but there were still more than ten people.
A few days passed, and the blink of an eye passed.
More than 100 catties of salt have been produced, but the problem of selling salt has come again.
He has no channels and doesn't know how to sell.
If he sells it in Liangxiang City and sells it to all the people, he will make money, but he will not make a lot of money, and the time to return to his capital will be extended, which is not in line with his current plan.
"How should we open up a channel suitable for selling salt?"
Yang Zhao's target is those family members, this group of people have a lot of money, and have the pursuit of life and food, but there are no channels to open the market.
He sat in the government office, pondering and meditating on how to sell salt, and suddenly worried, will he not even be able to recover the cost?
"County magistrate, there are people outside asking to see you."
Tian Chou came in and said.
Yang Zhao asked curiously, "Who?" ”
Tian Chou said: "Zhongshan Wuji County, Zhen's Zhen Yan." ”
Wuji Zhen's family, isn't this Zhen Mi's family.
If Yang Zhao remembers correctly, Zhen Yan is the second son of the Zhen family, and the eldest son died early, but the Zhen family has not been prosperous, there are many women and few sons, and the son is not long alive.
But why did the people of Zhongshan Wuji County come to such a remote place as Liangxiang?
"Wuji Zhen!"
Yang Zhao thought about it, he really just dozed off, someone brought a pillow, Zhen came just in time, and hurriedly said, "Invite him in." ”
After a while.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old man walked into the government office in the dust.
Zhen Yan bowed and bowed, "I've seen the county magistrate." ”
"You may be seated!"
Yang Zhao made a gesture of invitation and asked, "May I ask Brother Zhen to come to Liangxiang to see me, what's the matter?" ”
Next to him, there is a cushion.
Zhen Yan sat down and said politely: "I heard that the county magistrate arrived less than a month ago, and he exterminated the bandits in Evil Wolf Mountain, before the winter last year, I led the Zhen caravan to the north, and Wuhuan did business, and only went south in the spring, just passing through Liangxiang, I was ready to give the bandit money, found that the bandit was not there, and heard the deeds of the county magistrate, I came to visit, and thanked the county magistrate for eliminating harm for the people." ”
Even if their Zhen family's caravan wants to pass through the border and go north to Wuhuan, they have to give money to the Evil Wolf Mountain to pass through.
Don't give, wait to be robbed.
It can be seen how arrogant and powerful the bandits in Evil Wolf Mountain are.
In the past few years, Zhen Yan has lost count of how much money Zhen has sent, but the annual expenditure is very large.
"This is my duty, Brother Zhen is too polite."
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "But Brother Zhen came just in time, I have something, you may be interested." ”
"What's that?"
"Fang Rui, bring it up."
Yang Zhao said loudly.
Fang Rui instantly understood what he was going to take, and after a while, he came over with a small bowl of salt.
"It's ......"
It was the first time Zhen Yan had seen this kind of salt, and he couldn't be sure what it was for a while.
Yang Zhao said: "Salt? ”
"The county magistrate said this is salt?"
Zhen Yan was surprised.
"Taste it!"
Yang Zhao knew that he would react like this.
Zhen Yan couldn't believe it, tasted a little, it was very salty.
There is only a simple salty taste, there is no bitterness like other salts, this is very pure salt, the grains are distinct, crystal white, very beautiful, they can't believe it!
"Brother Zhen thinks, how about selling it?"
Yang Zhao smiled and said: "I made this kind of salt, I am worried that no one will cooperate, or we will sell it together, I will sell these salts to you for 20,000 yuan a stone, how much can Brother Zhen sell after getting it, I won't ask, how?" ”
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the price of salt fluctuated between 400 yuan and 8,000 yuan per stone.
Under the premise of stable social conditions, the price of salt can be stabilized at about 800 yuan.
Now that the world is about to be in chaos, the price of salt has increased, gradually approaching 8,000 yuan a stone, Yang Zhao's refined salt can throw off ordinary coarse salt nine streets, his 20,000 yuan is very reasonable, if Zhen knows how to operate, 30,000 yuan a stone still has a market.
It's still an exclusive business!
